7th Grade- 3rd Nine Weeks Review #83.4Interpret the slope of a line as a unit rate given the graph of a proportional relationship.
What does the slope mean?A. There are 0.5 pints in a quart.B. There are 0.5 quarts in a pint.C. There are 2 pints in a quart.D. There are 2 quarts in a pint.
3.6Solve linear equations with rational coefficients symbolically or graphically.
4.3Apply scale factor to solve problems involving area and volume.
Two prisms are shown.The lengths of the sides of the largerprism are 3 times the side lengths of thesmaller prism. What is the volume of the larger prism?
3.7Translate between verbal and symbolic representations of real-world phenomena.
The cost of a cab ride at one airport for $4 and $1.20 for each mile. What is the relationship between the total cost c and the number of miles m?A. c = 1.20 + 4m B. c = 1.20m – 4 C. c = 1.20m + 4 D. c = 4m – 1.20

“Students whose teachers conduct hands-on learning activities outperformed their peers by more than 70% of a grade level in math and 40% of a grade level in science.”
-Harold Wenglinsky
A problem is defined by…
Any task or activity for which a student has no prescribed or memorized rules or methods, nor is there a perception by the student that there is a specific “correct” solution method.
